Hi AJ.
A great job and a perfect result. Your vids are a real pleasure to watch. Keep on rocking. Btw.... I've subscribed long time ago and with this vid your work get a face for the first time-fantastic .
Greetings and regards from Germany.😊

Good evening from Michigan. That's a great looking engine. Well done 👏

[@nitro74cs]

Nice job. When it comes to the exhaust system; if you can make the flanges on each bank and put a small free-flow silencer, it should be ok in my opinion. it is not a high performance engine so as long as exhaust is not very restricted, it should be ok I guess. I look forward to seeing it running. Keep up the good work.

Kohlers had a reputation for being bulletproof. Thanks for rescuing this old work horse from the scrapyard of history. Looking forward to hearing it run. Thank you for sharing your time and talent.

Good morning AJ from Pennsylvania! Your engine looks great, what a transformation! Can’t wait to hear it run!

[@davegrummett1263]

Thank you for the video. It was the perfect tempo for a lazy morning in bed while it was grey and gloomy outside.

[@danielprivate7442]

This came together nicely. Sometimes new points come with a coating on them that keeps them from oxidizing while on the shelf. In case you have spark issues and don't know why. Good luck with the startup.

[@qlimaxbass5022]

Hi why you wont restore tis part? 14:41 Not repainted, no new bearings full of rust..... Spared a few dollars?

[@AJRestoration]

Its still good, the bearing for this one alone is about 50 USD where I live and spares has to be imported at a premuim. I gave it a clean and degreased it. Its ready for work.

[@raywood8187]

Looking forward to seeing it run, keep the fire extinguisher handy 🧯🤣
